The Cecil Whig., 1887-12-03


The experience of the people of
Frederick during the past week empha-
sizes the fact that lawlessness generally
begets lawlessness, and that one crime
often provokes another. A reputable
lady was brutally assaulted in the streets
of that city, and her assailant a burly
negro was taken by force from an in
sufficiently guarded Jail and lynched by
a mob of excited men. In retaliation
for this summary execution of one of
their race, threats have been made by
excited and unreasoning colored men
against number Of whites who are
suspected of having participated in the
lynching. The excitement eliminated
on Monday night, but no actual distur-
bance occurred, the authorities having
taken proper precautions to prevent
any serious trouble. The importance OF
the threatened demonstration has, we
think, been exaggerated, since as one
OF our exchanges sensibly says: The
suspicious which have made Frederick
an armed camp are due partly to the
local sentiment that, under excitement,
grave wrong has been perpelrated,
and the injured race will attempt to re-
sent it, and partly to the bravado and
threats of idle colored men who do not
represent the opinions of the great
majority of their people, and, if such a
silly reprisal as revenge were contem-
plated, would be the first to disappear
and conceal themselves. The colored
people of Frederick and its vicinity on
Monday night were exceptionally quiet
so much so, indeed. that this was at,ri-
buted by alarmsts to an intention later
on to burst into turbulence. With equal
reason it might be said that they went
to bed at the regular hour, because
they intended to rise at midnight. Such
reasoning is absurd, and would only be
tolerated during panic. The citizens
of Frederick and of the entire State
should take to heart the lesson OF this
latest lamentable interference with jus
tice. The courts of Maryland are per-
fectly competent to deal with all grades
of crime, and there is no earthly neces-
sity for those who have made them and
the laws under which they act to set
both aside for fancied revenge.

A TELEGRAM from Chicago says that,
according to an interview with an un-
named Anarchist, "there is movement
afoot in the principal cities throughout
the country to reorgaDize the followers
of Spies and Parsons. The leading
spirit is to be Louis Vierck, Of Munich,
who will be brought from Germany to
America for the special purpose of as
suming direction of the undertaking.
1t is hinted that. when the project IS
mat ured, dynamite throwing will be in
augurated on gigantic scale" Viereck
is 80 years of age, native of Berlin.
and a son of the actress Viereck, of the
Royal Theatre. Scandal says that the
German Emperor Is his father. Viereck
has long been prominent as a Socialist
leader and as lawyer, Journalist and
member of the Reichstag. His wife is
an American.

There is one dangerous kind of inf

There is one dangerous kind of inf
delily among farmers, says cotempo-
rary, which not the religious, but the
agriculture, press can best deal with.
This is, briefly, the want of faith that
their business is or can be profitable.
1t prevails today more extensively than
ever before, and is undoubtedly due to
the sharper competition that the farm
ing business has been subjected to. 1t
was bad enough when the great West
poured its cheaply grown products in
competition with those of Eastern far
mers. Now both alike are threatened
with more rulnous competition from
the cheap pauper labor OF semi-bar-
barous India. The injection of this
iDhdelity has extended to nearly all the
agricultural press, and it is high time
that efforts be made to counteract it.
Can American farmers maintain
their civilization, culture and interest
in all that concerns humanity, while in
competition with semi barbarous COM
petitors1 There is no more important
question than this before the American
public today. 1t far uanscends the
petty disputes of political partisans
about the spoils of office. We believe
they can, and that it can only be done
through such Improvements in farm
stock of every kind, and in methods of
manuring, understanding and cultiva-
tion, as to enormously increase the
value of all our agricultural products.
Possibly in some things it may be i'm
possible for us to hold our own. These
the skllful farmer will avoid, and by
giving advice through the agricultural
press on this subject he will help to put
the farming of this country on better
basis than it h9s ever been before.
There was never before a time when
sound, practical town talk was more
important than it is just now. When
farmers are getting out of old ruts, as
most of them are now obliged to do, it
is more necessary than ever that they
shall start IN new paths, where they will
not at once run on unknown breakers.

ALBANY. n. V, November 29-Th,
Court of Appeals handed down its decis

1t reverses the decision of the lowel
court, and orders a new trial. The de
cision says: During the trial exceptions
we're taken in behalf of the defendant t.

items of testimony, which, it is conceded
were material. and without which it i.
claimed by the appellant, a conviction

counsel for the prose secutiou claimed to bt
''irrefutable evidence of his participate,
and completely in the COMMISSION Of the
crime ~ THIS testimony the prosecutol
offered IN evidence.
Its admission on the trial was objected
to, on the ground that it was given under
privileged circumstances; haL the deten
dant was compelled to attend and testify
and that evidence thus elected was moi
competent upon the trial of perso!
where the subject under inquiry is tha,
about which he was then interrogated. >
The court decides that the admission
of this testimony was contrary to sectior
10, of the penal code, and was, therefore
an error. The admission of the Pottl,
testimony was also held to have been al
error. Another error WAS found i'll the

This is how it came about:
At some seasons Carpet man

advantage of such happenings
